A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

As a former history teacher, I believe that the majority of today's public issues are rooted in the quality - or lack thereof - of American education. Never in my own memory have I noticed so many students (and adults) who are so uninformed about even the most basic facts of history, civics, geography ... Recent studies suggest that U.S. schools rank well below other nations in the disciplines of math and science ... "Waiting for Superman" (which needs to be shown locally) says that the "blame" or "responsibility" for this sad state of affairs rests upon several factors - i.e. the distractions of TV and computer games; teachers' unions that support "tenure" for some incompetent teachers; uncaring parents; "pressure groups" that demonize public education to promote private, sectarian schools; politicians who burden schools with "unfunded mandates" like "No Child Left Behind" ... Or is it "all of the above"

The NEA Union Fat Cats’ anxiety is at an all time high. Connect with the “Ohioans for Workplace Freedom” to learn the truth about the “Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment” and help secure workplace freedom for all Ohioans.

“Name-Calling: A variety of the "Ad Hominem" argument.”

“Ad Hominem Argument: Also, "personal attack," "poisoning the well." The fallacy of attempting to refute an argument by attacking the opposition’s personal character or reputation, using a corrupted negative argument from ethos.”

FACT: The retired ‘dues exempt’ union ‘free rider’ member of United Steelworkers Local 1-0063 cannot conjure up a valid rebuttal on any of the forum topics so he has resigned to repeating himself over and over.

NEA Union Fats Cats’ true purpose is to prevent the ability of the workers to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment and to serve their own greed.

NEA Union Fat Cat supporters hide behind the false claim that the NEA union protects all workers.

Right to work’s true purpose is to give the workers the ability to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment and to serve as a check on Union Fat Cat greed.

Regardless how many hundreds of times you cut & paste the same thing over and over the fact remains . . .

The "Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment" would “guarantee the freedom of Ohioans to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment”.

Poor old NEA Union Fat Cat . . .

She is afraid someone might learn the TRUTH . . .

The "Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment" would “guarantee the freedom of Ohioans to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment”.

Here is a common sense thing to do . . . If you do not like the 'cut & paste' incompetence of a long-time retired DUES EXEMPT union member you have a choice . . . support the "Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment"

Remember the "Ohio Workplace Freedom Amendment" would “guarantee the freedom of Ohioans to choose whether to participate in a labor organization as a condition of employment”.
